Nicole Masters is a globally recognised agroecologist, speaker and author of the book ‘For the Love of Soil’. Meagan Lannan is an award-winning rancher at Barney Creek Livestock in Montana, within the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Nicole and Meagan toured two sold out education programs in Australia last month. First up, 126 people convened for 4 days near the town of Orange, and I was fortunate to be welcomed along for the ride.

It was actually Nicole’s first time back in Australia since her scheduled book tour of 55 dates was cancelled due to covid. We last spoke for the podcast during that time in 2020, when Nicole was in the midst of her own transformations. A few years on, and this program is touring the world, with its focus on training the wayfinders in regenerative soil, systems and life-giving practice. No surprise in that sense, we end up talking polyvagal theory, regenerative finance, shifting consciousness, the education processes that cultivate all that, and a bit of song and dance.

This conversation was recorded at Tombarra near Braidwood in NSW, on 22 April 2023.
